We've had the absolute pleasure of photographing this family of three several times over the last couple years, and each time we leave their home with THE biggest smile on our faces!! Throughout Joachim's first year we saw him and his Mom & Dad, Dominee & Hector, every three months for his newborn, 4 month, 8 month and 1 year portraits. This time, well over half a year had passed and we couldn't BELIEVE what an adorable big boy Joachim has become! We cycled through a few of our tricks and, before we knew it, all five of us were having a blast bringing out Joachim's laughter and smiles for us to capture!!
Dominee & Hector, thank you so much for having us over to your lovely home to photograph the two of you loving on Joachim. We consider it a complete honor to be your family photographer!
Love, Kelsy & Butch

Fall weekends in Door County, Wisconsin tend to be on the busier side. Fall colors line the shores and back roads everywhere you turn, and the busy roads in Ephraim, Sister Bay, Fish Creek and Bailey's Harbor are usually bumper-to-bumper with cars angling to get to the next beautiful spot. We're not sure words will do the feeling we all experienced justice, but after Katie & Nick's ceremony at 
This family portrait session includes three of our very favorite things: Door County's gorgeous fall colors, an ADORABLE family who we are lucky to call great friends, and Butch's parents beautiful land in Jacksonport! It warms our hearts watching this family grow, spending time with them, and especially getting to take photos that they will cherish for a lifetime. :)
We met Stacy & Steve at 
Everywhere we turned we found beautiful, meaningful, and timeless. Sarah & Jeff planned a wedding day that was perfectly thought out for not just them, but also for all of their guests who were flying in from around the country. Of course, there's not much you can do when smoke fills the sky in Chicago and guests must scramble, reroute their flights, and find any form of transportation possible to be there for Sarah & Jeff's wedding. Most made it in time to see the I do's and, for the few who weren't able to make it, we hope these photographs are able to tell enough of the wonderful story that was their wedding day.
